TY - RPRT T1 - STATE HIGHWAY 397 (MACK HATCHER PARKWAY EXTENSION), FROM US 31 (STATE ROUTE 6, COLUMBIA AVENUE), SOUTH OF FRANKLIN TO US 431 (STATE ROUTE 106, HILLSBORO ROAD), NORTH OF FRANKLIN, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE. AN - 36436496; 11298 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight to ten-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. Facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity throughout the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mack Hatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties {4-14} and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. {4-2} the highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

AN - 36369969; 11298-040559_0016 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight to ten-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. Facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity throughout the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mack Hatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties {4-14} and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. {4-2} the highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

AN - 36368166; 11298-040559_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight to ten-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. Facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity throughout the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mack Hatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties {4-14} and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. {4-2} the highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District. Sensitive receptor sites would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards in some areas along the corridor.

AN - 36366077; 11298-040559_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of State Route (SR) 397 (Mack Hatcher Parkway) around the city of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee is proposed. The eight to ten-mile project would extend from US 31 (State Route 6, Columbia Avenue) south of Franklin to US 431 (State Route 106, Hillsboro Road) north of Franklin in Williamson County, Tennessee. Facility would be a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility within rights-of-way 250 feet in width, with narrowing to 104 feet in selected locations, on a new alignment. The typical cross-section would be developed to accommodate six lanes in the future. The first build section would lie within the restricted 104-foot rights-of-way, providing five lanes, with a 12-foot center turn lane, and an urban section with shoulders and standard 2.5-foot curb-and-gutter sections. Combined with the existing parkway, this extension would create a complete loop around the city of Franklin and provide needed connectivity throughout the region. The design speed would be 60 miles per hour. The existing Mack Hatcher is currently classified as an urban principle arterial. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: regardless of the build alternative selected, the project would improve local circulation, reduce traffic congestion in downtown Franklin, improve access to Interstate 65 and other regional destinations, reduce travel times, lower vehicular operating costs, and improve air quality. The Tennessee Valley Authority wishes to locate a new powerline and substation within the study area and hopes to locate the line adjacent to the transportation corridor in an effort to reduce environmental impacts in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the new facility would require relocation of a limited number of residential and commercial properties and conversion of open, rural land to public use. More specifically, the project would displace one or two businesses and up to 19 residential properties {4-14} and 210 to 280 acres of farmland. {4-2} the highway would affect the Harpeth River Historic District.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - SOUTH CORRIDOR, I-205/PORTLAND MALL LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT, CLACKAMAS AND MULTNOMAH COUNTIES, OREGON. AN - 36369464; 11316-040578_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transit improvements in the north-south corridor of the metropolitan area of Portland, Oregon is proposed. An October 2003 final supplement to the final EIS of 1998 to the February 1998 final EIS addressed on the proposed improvements in the north/south transportation corridor of Clackmas and Multnomah counties, Oregon and Clark County which includes the cities of Oregon City, Gladstone, and Milwaukee; the Clackamas Regional Center (CRC) area of unincorporated Clackamas County; a section of southeast Portland; Portland's central city; a section north/northeast of Portland; the city of Vancouver; and other parts of Clark County, Washington. Since 1980, the number of jobs and households along the corridor has been increasing at the rate of two to three percent annually. By the year 2015, the final EIS projected that increases in travel miles will result in a 268 percent increase in the miles of congested roadways in the corridor and a 720 percent increase in the number of hours that drivers must sit in congested traffic. The final supplemental EIS addressed improvements in the portion of the north/south corridor including Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington counties in Oregon and Clark County in Washington. Alternatives considered in the final supplement include a No-Build Alternative and light rail alternatives within the downtown Portland segment. Action alternatives involve construction of a light rail transit line, complemented by bus-oriented capital improvements. The light rail improvements would be made in the downtown Portland and Interstate 205 (I-205) segments of the South Corridor. While the Green Line would operate through all three segments of the corridor, there would be no capital improvements to the I-84 segment, where the Green Line would use the light rail alignment and stations. In addition to the Green Line, the Yellow Line would operate on the Portland Mall alignment, instead of on the Cross Mall alignment. Within the downtown Portland segment, the Portland Mall alignment would branch off from the existing Cross Mall light rail alignment at the west end of the Steel Bridge, transitioning to a new structure that would lead to Northwest Irving Street. The alignment would return to grade at Northwest Fourth Avenue and would then turn onto Northwest Fifty and Sixth avenues. This final EIS on the Mall Light Rail Project proposes an I-205/Portland Mall Project extension of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) projects, including improvements to the existing transportation system in the Portland metropolitan area. The locally preferred strategy for the North-South Corridor Project as been amended to include a two-phase project for the South Corridor. Phase 1 would include the I-205/Portland Mall LRT Project. Phase 2 would include the Portland to Milwaukee Project; a separate final EIS will be prepared for Phase 2. The I-205/30 degrees tend to form concentrically ringed structures, whereas low-angle impacts (<15 degrees ) typically form oval craters. A trajectory for the Weaubleau-Osceola impactor is inferred between these limits.

The Yazoo was deposited in a nearshore marine environment and is the formation from which the primitive whale Basilosaurus, the Mississippi State fossil, was collected. Based on over 240 XRD analyses, the average composition of the Yazoo Clay is 28% smectite (probably montmorillonite), 24% kaolinite, 22% quartz, 15% calcite, 8% illite, 2% feldspar, and 1% gypsum. Surface exposures of Yazoo are weathered to an average depth of 30 to 40 ft. Weathered Yazoo has a distinctive yellow/brown color while unweathered Yazoo is blue/gray. In most wells the amount of smectite decreases and the amount of kaolinite increases with depth through the weathered horizon. It is unclear if these mineralogic changes are due to the physical segregation of the minerals in the shallow samples or if there is actual growth of smectite at the expense of kaolinite. Regardless of the cause, the mineralogic changes correlate well to the engineering properties of the samples, which are a decrease in the liquid limit, plastic limit, and shrinkage limit with depth through the weathered zone. The volume increase of the Yazoo Clay can be more than 200% and is almost always greater than 130%. The volume increase is greatest in the smectite-rich weathered Yazoo. The general "rule-of-thumb" for building on the Yazoo calls for removal of at least 3 ft of the weathered rock. Nevertheless, because of its expansive nature the Yazoo Clay is associated with cracked foundations, cracked walls and ceilings, and "roller coaster" roadways throughout central Mississippi and the whole southeast.

[Part 25 of 29] T2 - CABRILO PORT LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS DEEPWATER PROJECT, VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36369472; 11232-040511_0025 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an offshore floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) 14 miles offshore of Ventura and Los Angeles counties, California are proposed. California is the second largest natural gas consumer in the nation, expected to use 2.4 trillion cubic feet by 2013, with a growth rate of one percent annually. Liquified natural gas (LGN) from the Pacific basin would be delivered by an LGN carrier to and offloaded onto the FSRU, where it would be regasified and delivered onshore via two new 21.1-mile, 24-inch-diameter natural gas pipelines laid on the ocean floor. The pipelines would come onshore at Ormond Beach near Oxnard to connect through new onshore pipelines to the existing Southern California Gas Company intrastate pipeline system to distribute gas throughout the southern California region. The facilities would be designed to deliver a peak of up top 800 million cubic feet per day. The FSRU would store LNG in three Moss spherical tanks, each of which would have an LNG storage capacity of 24 million gallons, The FRSU would be permanently moored using a turret system (a tower-like revolving structure), allowing the facility to weatherbane (rotate) around a fixed point. The FSRU, which would be designed for loading LNG from a side-by-side, moored LNG tanker, would be shaped like another vessel, double-sided, double-bottomed, 938-feet long and 213 feet wide, with a displacement of approximately 190,000 deadweight tons. The project design life is 40 years. although the federal license for the port facility would have no expiration date. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers an alternative location (the Santa Barbara Channel in Venture Flats), onshore pipeline route alternatives, and alternative shore crossing routes to the Reliant Energy Ormond Beach Generating Station. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FRSU would help increase the natural gas supply in the state and the nation as well as increase the reliability and diversity of the supply. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: FRSU operational accidents, high-energy marine collisions, and pipeline mishaps could result in the release of LNG. Releases of unodorized gas would be a particularly dangerous public safety hazard. Fires due to large releases could be severely damaging and dangerous. Construction activities would disrupt marine traffic, and facility operation would present a long-term disruption of traffic and a navigation safety hazard. Construction activities would also result in the alteration of essential and/or sensitive fish habitats, and gas spills could destroy marine biota. Noise generated by the FRSU would disturb fish and, more seriously, marine mammals. The pipelines would displace vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat as well as marine habitat and could result in the damage to paleontologic, historic, and archaeological sites, including sites that are of value to Native American culture.

The pipelines would come onshore at Ormond Beach near Oxnard to connect through new onshore pipelines to the existing Southern California Gas Company intrastate pipeline system to distribute gas throughout the southern California region. The facilities would be designed to deliver a peak of up top 800 million cubic feet per day. The FSRU would store LNG in three Moss spherical tanks, each of which would have an LNG storage capacity of 24 million gallons, The FRSU would be permanently moored using a turret system (a tower-like revolving structure), allowing the facility to weatherbane (rotate) around a fixed point. The FSRU, which would be designed for loading LNG from a side-by-side, moored LNG tanker, would be shaped like another vessel, double-sided, double-bottomed, 938-feet long and 213 feet wide, with a displacement of approximately 190,000 deadweight tons. The project design life is 40 years. although the federal license for the port facility would have no expiration date. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers an alternative location (the Santa Barbara Channel in Venture Flats), onshore pipeline route alternatives, and alternative shore crossing routes to the Reliant Energy Ormond Beach Generating Station. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FRSU would help increase the natural gas supply in the state and the nation as well as increase the reliability and diversity of the supply. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: FRSU operational accidents, high-energy marine collisions, and pipeline mishaps could result in the release of LNG. Releases of unodorized gas would be a particularly dangerous public safety hazard. Fires due to large releases could be severely damaging and dangerous. Construction activities would disrupt marine traffic, and facility operation would present a long-term disruption of traffic and a navigation safety hazard. Construction activities would also result in the alteration of essential and/or sensitive fish habitats, and gas spills could destroy marine biota. Noise generated by the FRSU would disturb fish and, more seriously, marine mammals. The pipelines would displace vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat as well as marine habitat and could result in the damage to paleontologic, historic, and archaeological sites, including sites that are of value to Native American culture.

AN - 36367563; 11232-040511_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an offshore floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) 14 miles offshore of Ventura and Los Angeles counties, California are proposed. California is the second largest natural gas consumer in the nation, expected to use 2.4 trillion cubic feet by 2013, with a growth rate of one percent annually. Liquified natural gas (LGN) from the Pacific basin would be delivered by an LGN carrier to and offloaded onto the FSRU, where it would be regasified and delivered onshore via two new 21.1-mile, 24-inch-diameter natural gas pipelines laid on the ocean floor. The pipelines would come onshore at Ormond Beach near Oxnard to connect through new onshore pipelines to the existing Southern California Gas Company intrastate pipeline system to distribute gas throughout the southern California region. The facilities would be designed to deliver a peak of up top 800 million cubic feet per day. The FSRU would store LNG in three Moss spherical tanks, each of which would have an LNG storage capacity of 24 million gallons, The FRSU would be permanently moored using a turret system (a tower-like revolving structure), allowing the facility to weatherbane (rotate) around a fixed point. The FSRU, which would be designed for loading LNG from a side-by-side, moored LNG tanker, would be shaped like another vessel, double-sided, double-bottomed, 938-feet long and 213 feet wide, with a displacement of approximately 190,000 deadweight tons. The project design life is 40 years. although the federal license for the port facility would have no expiration date. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers an alternative location (the Santa Barbara Channel in Venture Flats), onshore pipeline route alternatives, and alternative shore crossing routes to the Reliant Energy Ormond Beach Generating Station. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FRSU would help increase the natural gas supply in the state and the nation as well as increase the reliability and diversity of the supply. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: FRSU operational accidents, high-energy marine collisions, and pipeline mishaps could result in the release of LNG. Releases of unodorized gas would be a particularly dangerous public safety hazard. Fires due to large releases could be severely damaging and dangerous. Construction activities would disrupt marine traffic, and facility operation would present a long-term disruption of traffic and a navigation safety hazard. Construction activities would also result in the alteration of essential and/or sensitive fish habitats, and gas spills could destroy marine biota. Noise generated by the FRSU would disturb fish and, more seriously, marine mammals. The pipelines would displace vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat as well as marine habitat and could result in the damage to paleontologic, historic, and archaeological sites, including sites that are of value to Native American culture.

In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers an alternative location (the Santa Barbara Channel in Venture Flats), onshore pipeline route alternatives, and alternative shore crossing routes to the Reliant Energy Ormond Beach Generating Station. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FRSU would help increase the natural gas supply in the state and the nation as well as increase the reliability and diversity of the supply. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: FRSU operational accidents, high-energy marine collisions, and pipeline mishaps could result in the release of LNG. Releases of unodorized gas would be a particularly dangerous public safety hazard. Fires due to large releases could be severely damaging and dangerous. Construction activities would disrupt marine traffic, and facility operation would present a long-term disruption of traffic and a navigation safety hazard. Construction activities would also result in the alteration of essential and/or sensitive fish habitats, and gas spills could destroy marine biota. Noise generated by the FRSU would disturb fish and, more seriously, marine mammals. The pipelines would displace vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat as well as marine habitat and could result in the damage to paleontologic, historic, and archaeological sites, including sites that are of value to Native American culture.

AN - 36366032; 11232-040511_0012 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an offshore floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) 14 miles offshore of Ventura and Los Angeles counties, California are proposed. California is the second largest natural gas consumer in the nation, expected to use 2.4 trillion cubic feet by 2013, with a growth rate of one percent annually. Liquified natural gas (LGN) from the Pacific basin would be delivered by an LGN carrier to and offloaded onto the FSRU, where it would be regasified and delivered onshore via two new 21.1-mile, 24-inch-diameter natural gas pipelines laid on the ocean floor. The pipelines would come onshore at Ormond Beach near Oxnard to connect through new onshore pipelines to the existing Southern California Gas Company intrastate pipeline system to distribute gas throughout the southern California region. The facilities would be designed to deliver a peak of up top 800 million cubic feet per day. The FSRU would store LNG in three Moss spherical tanks, each of which would have an LNG storage capacity of 24 million gallons, The FRSU would be permanently moored using a turret system (a tower-like revolving structure), allowing the facility to weatherbane (rotate) around a fixed point. The FSRU, which would be designed for loading LNG from a side-by-side, moored LNG tanker, would be shaped like another vessel, double-sided, double-bottomed, 938-feet long and 213 feet wide, with a displacement of approximately 190,000 deadweight tons.

Liquified natural gas (LGN) from the Pacific basin would be delivered by an LGN carrier to and offloaded onto the FSRU, where it would be regasified and delivered onshore via two new 21.1-mile, 24-inch-diameter natural gas pipelines laid on the ocean floor. The pipelines would come onshore at Ormond Beach near Oxnard to connect through new onshore pipelines to the existing Southern California Gas Company intrastate pipeline system to distribute gas throughout the southern California region. The facilities would be designed to deliver a peak of up top 800 million cubic feet per day. The FSRU would store LNG in three Moss spherical tanks, each of which would have an LNG storage capacity of 24 million gallons, The FRSU would be permanently moored using a turret system (a tower-like revolving structure), allowing the facility to weatherbane (rotate) around a fixed point. The FSRU, which would be designed for loading LNG from a side-by-side, moored LNG tanker, would be shaped like another vessel, double-sided, double-bottomed, 938-feet long and 213 feet wide, with a displacement of approximately 190,000 deadweight tons. The project design life is 40 years. although the federal license for the port facility would have no expiration date. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers an alternative location (the Santa Barbara Channel in Venture Flats), onshore pipeline route alternatives, and alternative shore crossing routes to the Reliant Energy Ormond Beach Generating Station. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FRSU would help increase the natural gas supply in the state and the nation as well as increase the reliability and diversity of the supply. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: FRSU operational accidents, high-energy marine collisions, and pipeline mishaps could result in the release of LNG. Releases of unodorized gas would be a particularly dangerous public safety hazard. Fires due to large releases could be severely damaging and dangerous. Construction activities would disrupt marine traffic, and facility operation would present a long-term disruption of traffic and a navigation safety hazard. Construction activities would also result in the alteration of essential and/or sensitive fish habitats, and gas spills could destroy marine biota. Noise generated by the FRSU would disturb fish and, more seriously, marine mammals. The pipelines would displace vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat as well as marine habitat and could result in the damage to paleontologic, historic, and archaeological sites, including sites that are of value to Native American culture.

[Part 8 of 16] T2 - 11400 SOUTH STUDY AREA, SOUTHERN SALT LAKE VALLEY, SALT LAKE COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 36368750; 11229-040508_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the transportation network in southern Salt Lake Valley, Salt Lake County, Utah is proposed. The study corridor lies 16 miles south of the center of Salt Lake City and extends from 12300/12600-South to 10400/10600-South and from Bangerter Highway to 700-East. The corridor encompasses portions of Sandy, Draper, Riverton, and South Jordan. The Salt Lake Valley is one of the fastest growing areas in the state; the overall population is expected to increase by 90 percent by the year 2030 over the 2000 population. With the large growth in population and associated economic development, travel demand will increase. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives would include various combinations: improvements to existing roadways, construction of a new bridge and connecting roadway over the Jordan River, and construction of a new interchange on Interstate-15 (I-15). The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would include a new I-15 interchange and a new river crossing at 11400-South as well as widening of 10600-South to six lanes from just west of River Front Parkway to Jordan Gateway. In addition to these projects and transportation management measures, the alternative would include other interchange improvements related to I-15 connections, and intersection modifications. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $122 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would improve mobility in the study area, thereby supporting continued economic development to allow the affected communities to maintain their quality of life. The improvements would result in the addition of 1.4 million square feet of retail space and $4.7 million in sales tax revenue. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 26 residences and 0.57 acres of wetlands and of portions of land from 17 historic resource sites and six wildlife habitat protection areas that provide recreational opportunities. Four critical intersections would continue to operate over capacity. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 255 sensitive receptive sites, though 29 of these sites could benefit from mitigating noise control facilities.

AN - 36368706; 11229-040508_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the transportation network in southern Salt Lake Valley, Salt Lake County, Utah is proposed. The study corridor lies 16 miles south of the center of Salt Lake City and extends from 12300/12600-South to 10400/10600-South and from Bangerter Highway to 700-East. The corridor encompasses portions of Sandy, Draper, Riverton, and South Jordan. The Salt Lake Valley is one of the fastest growing areas in the state; the overall population is expected to increase by 90 percent by the year 2030 over the 2000 population. With the large growth in population and associated economic development, travel demand will increase. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives would include various combinations: improvements to existing roadways, construction of a new bridge and connecting roadway over the Jordan River, and construction of a new interchange on Interstate-15 (I-15). The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would include a new I-15 interchange and a new river crossing at 11400-South as well as widening of 10600-South to six lanes from just west of River Front Parkway to Jordan Gateway. In addition to these projects and transportation management measures, the alternative would include other interchange improvements related to I-15 connections, and intersection modifications. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $122 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would improve mobility in the study area, thereby supporting continued economic development to allow the affected communities to maintain their quality of life. The improvements would result in the addition of 1.4 million square feet of retail space and $4.7 million in sales tax revenue. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 26 residences and 0.57 acres of wetlands and of portions of land from 17 historic resource sites and six wildlife habitat protection areas that provide recreational opportunities. Four critical intersections would continue to operate over capacity. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 255 sensitive receptive sites, though 29 of these sites could benefit from mitigating noise control facilities.

AN - 36366966; 11229-040508_0010 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the transportation network in southern Salt Lake Valley, Salt Lake County, Utah is proposed. The study corridor lies 16 miles south of the center of Salt Lake City and extends from 12300/12600-South to 10400/10600-South and from Bangerter Highway to 700-East. The corridor encompasses portions of Sandy, Draper, Riverton, and South Jordan. The Salt Lake Valley is one of the fastest growing areas in the state; the overall population is expected to increase by 90 percent by the year 2030 over the 2000 population. With the large growth in population and associated economic development, travel demand will increase. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives would include various combinations: improvements to existing roadways, construction of a new bridge and connecting roadway over the Jordan River, and construction of a new interchange on Interstate-15 (I-15). The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would include a new I-15 interchange and a new river crossing at 11400-South as well as widening of 10600-South to six lanes from just west of River Front Parkway to Jordan Gateway. In addition to these projects and transportation management measures, the alternative would include other interchange improvements related to I-15 connections, and intersection modifications. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $122 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would improve mobility in the study area, thereby supporting continued economic development to allow the affected communities to maintain their quality of life. The improvements would result in the addition of 1.4 million square feet of retail space and $4.7 million in sales tax revenue. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 26 residences and 0.57 acres of wetlands and of portions of land from 17 historic resource sites and six wildlife habitat protection areas that provide recreational opportunities. Four critical intersections would continue to operate over capacity. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 255 sensitive receptive sites, though 29 of these sites could benefit from mitigating noise control facilities.

The build alternatives would include various combinations: improvements to existing roadways, construction of a new bridge and connecting roadway over the Jordan River, and construction of a new interchange on Interstate-15 (I-15). The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would include a new I-15 interchange and a new river crossing at 11400-South as well as widening of 10600-South to six lanes from just west of River Front Parkway to Jordan Gateway. In addition to these projects and transportation management measures, the alternative would include other interchange improvements related to I-15 connections, and intersection modifications. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $122 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would improve mobility in the study area, thereby supporting continued economic development to allow the affected communities to maintain their quality of life. The improvements would result in the addition of 1.4 million square feet of retail space and $4.7 million in sales tax revenue. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 26 residences and 0.57 acres of wetlands and of portions of land from 17 historic resource sites and six wildlife habitat protection areas that provide recreational opportunities. Four critical intersections would continue to operate over capacity. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 255 sensitive receptive sites, though 29 of these sites could benefit from mitigating noise control facilities.

Preparation date: October 28, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COACHELLA VALLEY MULTIPLE SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN AND ASSOCIATED NATURAL COMMUNITY PLAN AND SANTA ROSA AND SAN JOACINITO MOUNTAINS TRAILS PLAN, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16348802; 11227 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a multi-species habitat conservation plan, an associated natural community conservation, and a trails plans for the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains are proposed in Riverside County, California. The Coachella Valley is the westernmost extension of the Colorado River subunit of the Sonoran Desert and provides unique and diverse habitats that support many highly specialized species or plants and animals. The multi-species habitat conservation plan and natural community conservation plan would encompass 1.2 million acres and provide for a net planning area of 1.1 million acres, excluding Indian reservation lands not covered by the plan. The planning area extends from the Cabazon area of the San Gorgonio Pass in the northwest to lands surrounding the northern portions of the Salton Sea to the southeast. The planning area also includes mountainous areas and most of he associated watersheds surrounding the valley floor. The plan would provide for a conservation preserve system encompassing 725,780 acres of existing public and private conservation lands and the acquisition and/or management of 187,780 acres of additional conservation lands. The plans are in response to the application for an incidental take permit for species related to activities that have the potential to result in take, pursuant to Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and its implementing regulations and policies. Six Alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative A) would seek commitments by local, state, and federal agencies to implement the multi-species plan, acquire land and develop land management strategies by governments at all levels, provide for permanent preserve protection and management of habitats and populations of plant and animal species conserved in the Coachella Valley planning area, issue take permits in exchange for the implementation of an integrated conservation strategy and maintenance of the preserve system, seek issuance of take permits from federal and state authorities to permit land use and development that disturbs target species' habitats and natural communities covered under the plan, and incorporate amendments to the California Desert Conservation Area Plan into the multi-species plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The overall management scheme would help maintain and enhance the biological diversity and ecosystem processes in the area, while allowing for future economic growth within the Coachella Valley. Plan implementation would provide for permanent open space, community edges, and recreational opportunities and otherwise contribute to the community character of the valley.Enhancement of recreational resources would also enhance one of the area's most valuable economic resources, namely, tourism. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land uses and developments in some areas would be significantly limited, impeding economic growth in some cases. Incidental take of federally protected species would result in the loss of individuals, but the efforts to protect species at the population level would not be affected. Periodic drain and flood control activity would alter natural flooding and other hydrologic processes, and the use of off-highway vehicles in the area would damage natural communities.

AN - 36367593; 11225-040502_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of improvements along Routes 2, 2A, and 32 in North Stonington, Preston, Montville, Norwich, and Waterford in New London County, Connecticut is proposed. The study area extends from Westerly, Rhode Island northwest to Norwich, Connecticut, and southward to New London, Connecticut.The study are also includes Route 164. All routes under consideration are affected by congestion and functional deficiencies. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) are considered in this final EIS. The five action alternatives considered in the draft EIS, and reconsidered in the final EIS, include: development of a commuter rail service along the New England Central Rail line along with transit service (light rail or monorail service) between Norwich and Westerly (Alternatives B and C); bus service between Norwich and Westerly along a dedicated busway (Alternative D); a bypass of Route 2A combined with widening of Route 2 and upgrading of Routes 32 and 164 (Alternative E); and bypasses of both Route 2A and Route 2 (Alternative F). Each alternative was evaluated with respect to impacts affecting cultural and natural resources, socioeconomic resources, visual and scenic areas, hazardous materials, existing land uses, and local and regional transportation needs. The preferred alternative is a modification of Alternative E presented in the draft EIS. Construction and annual operating costs of the proposed action are estimated at $79 million Depending on the alternative selected, capital costs of the project range from $93.0 million to $701.0 million. Construction of the monorail system under Alternative B or C would increase capital costs to $3.5 billion or $3.7 billion due to complex engineering design and construction costs of the necessary elevated structure. Rights-of-way cost estimates range from $600,000 to $1.7 million. Annual operating cost estimates range from $25,000 to $26.7 million and $150,000, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the alternative selected, the project would provide transportation improvements to relieve traffic congestion and improve safety, while minimizing environmental an community impacts. Under the preferred alternative, community cohesion would be improved in Poquetanuck Village. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way for the preferred alternative development would displace 83 acres of land, 17 residences and one commercial structure, 5.6 acres of wetlands, 4.7 acres of floodplain, 42.4 acres of wildlife habitat, 37.8 acres of farmland, and land associated with Rose Hill Wildlife Management Area and the Preston Plains School ball-field. Habitat for Atlantic sturgeon, a federally protected species, would be affected. Seven historic structures, 12 historic properties, and one historic hi8strict would be lost or degraded, and 10 known archaeological sites and 87 acres likely to contain archaeological resources would be affected. Community cohesion would be affected negatively along Route 2 in Preston. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 486 receptor sites. Construction activities would disturb 17 sites containing hazardous materials. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

Preparation date: October 20, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BROWNS PARK ROAD, FROM RED CREEK TO COLORADO STATE LINE, DAGGETT COUNTY, UTAH. [Part 1 of 1] T2 - BROWNS PARK ROAD, FROM RED CREEK TO COLORADO STATE LINE, DAGGETT COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 36360694; 11223-040500_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and partial realignment of Browns Park Road from Red Creek in Daggett County in Utah to the Utah/Colorado line at Colorado Route 318 are proposed. The newly paved highway, which is currently a maintained gravel road, would extend 16 to 16.8 miles. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, in this draft EIS. The action alternatives would fail to conform with the resource management plan of the Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Department of the Interior) for the Diamond Mountain Resource Area, requiring an amendment to the plan to provide for the new transportation corridor and for visual resource considerations. The proposed new facility would be 30 feet wide, providing two lanes and allowing for a 30- to 40-mile-per-hour design speed. Rights-of-way would be approximately 100 feet wide. Action Alternative A would generally following the existing Browns Park Road, excepting the Jesse Ewing Canyon portion that would be routed to the west to lengthen the road course, reduce grades, and generally provide a safer travel route; this is the locally preferred alternative. Alternative B would generally follow the existing alignment, excepting the Jessee Ewing Canyon section, where the road would provide for a 12-percent grade and swing further east and west from the existing alignment to lengthen the course and lessen the grade. Estimated costs of alternatives A and B are 17.1 million and $21.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a safer, more efficient transportation facility that would comply with American Association of State Highway and State Officials standards. The new facility would connect logical termini by linking a currently paved portion of Browns Park Road in Utah, which junctions with US 919 near the Utah-Wyoming border, to Colorado State Route 318. The road would improve access to recreational, agricultural, and commercial developments in the Green River and Flaming Gorge from areas in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would disturb 203 to 218 acres during construction, though only 180.6 to 195.8 acres would lie within the permanent rights-of-way; 58 to 61 acres, all of which provides wildlife habitat for deer and grouse, would not be reclaimed. The project would displace 0.29 acre of wetland at Willow Creek and require filling of 5,980 to 6,120 linear feet of ephemeral channel and possibly 1,900 linear feet of intermittent channel. The Green River would lose 243 acre-feet of water (0.02 percent of the average flow) over the life of the project. Five to six grazing allotments would lose some forage production capacity. Vandalism potential at three historic and three prehistoric sites would increase somewhat. The project would degrade visual resources and otherwise impact the recreational experience along the corridor, which includes the Green River, included in the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers. Traffic noise would increase somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN - 16359006; 11223 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and partial realignment of Browns Park Road from Red Creek in Daggett County in Utah to the Utah/Colorado line at Colorado Route 318 are proposed. The newly paved highway, which is currently a maintained gravel road, would extend 16 to 16.8 miles. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, in this draft EIS. The action alternatives would fail to conform with the resource management plan of the Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Department of the Interior) for the Diamond Mountain Resource Area, requiring an amendment to the plan to provide for the new transportation corridor and for visual resource considerations. The proposed new facility would be 30 feet wide, providing two lanes and allowing for a 30- to 40-mile-per-hour design speed. Rights-of-way would be approximately 100 feet wide. Action Alternative A would generally following the existing Browns Park Road, excepting the Jesse Ewing Canyon portion that would be routed to the west to lengthen the road course, reduce grades, and generally provide a safer travel route; this is the locally preferred alternative. Alternative B would generally follow the existing alignment, excepting the Jessee Ewing Canyon section, where the road would provide for a 12-percent grade and swing further east and west from the existing alignment to lengthen the course and lessen the grade. Estimated costs of alternatives A and B are 17.1 million and $21.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a safer, more efficient transportation facility that would comply with American Association of State Highway and State Officials standards. The new facility would connect logical termini by linking a currently paved portion of Browns Park Road in Utah, which junctions with US 919 near the Utah-Wyoming border, to Colorado State Route 318. The road would improve access to recreational, agricultural, and commercial developments in the Green River and Flaming Gorge from areas in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming.

Preparation date: October 20, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUTE 2/2A/32 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT STUDY, NEW LONDON COUNTY, CONNECTICUT. AN - 16348392; 11225 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of improvements along Routes 2, 2A, and 32 in North Stonington, Preston, Montville, Norwich, and Waterford in New London County, Connecticut is proposed. The study area extends from Westerly, Rhode Island northwest to Norwich, Connecticut, and southward to New London, Connecticut.The study are also includes Route 164. All routes under consideration are affected by congestion and functional deficiencies. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A) are considered in this final EIS. The five action alternatives considered in the draft EIS, and reconsidered in the final EIS, include: development of a commuter rail service along the New England Central Rail line along with transit service (light rail or monorail service) between Norwich and Westerly (Alternatives B and C); bus service between Norwich and Westerly along a dedicated busway (Alternative D); a bypass of Route 2A combined with widening of Route 2 and upgrading of Routes 32 and 164 (Alternative E); and bypasses of both Route 2A and Route 2 (Alternative F). Each alternative was evaluated with respect to impacts affecting cultural and natural resources, socioeconomic resources, visual and scenic areas, hazardous materials, existing land uses, and local and regional transportation needs. The preferred alternative is a modification of Alternative E presented in the draft EIS. Construction and annual operating costs of the proposed action are estimated at $79 million Depending on the alternative selected, capital costs of the project range from $93.0 million to $701.0 million. Construction of the monorail system under Alternative B or C would increase capital costs to $3.5 billion or $3.7 billion due to complex engineering design and construction costs of the necessary elevated structure. Rights-of-way cost estimates range from $600,000 to $1.7 million. Annual operating cost estimates range from $25,000 to $26.7 million and $150,000, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the alternative selected, the project would provide transportation improvements to relieve traffic congestion and improve safety, while minimizing environmental an community impacts. Under the preferred alternative, community cohesion would be improved in Poquetanuck Village. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way for the preferred alternative development would displace 83 acres of land, 17 residences and one commercial structure, 5.6 acres of wetlands, 4.7 acres of floodplain, 42.4 acres of wildlife habitat, 37.8 acres of farmland, and land associated with Rose Hill Wildlife Management Area and the Preston Plains School ball-field. Habitat for Atlantic sturgeon, a federally protected species, would be affected. Seven historic structures, 12 historic properties, and one historic hi8strict would be lost or degraded, and 10 known archaeological sites and 87 acres likely to contain archaeological resources would be affected. Community cohesion would be affected negatively along Route 2 in Preston. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 486 receptor sites. Construction activities would disturb 17 sites containing hazardous materials. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

[Part 168 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874673; 11221-7_0168 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

AN - 905874650; 11221-7_0164 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway.

One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

AN - 905874631; 11221-7_0159 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area.

[Part 157 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874619; 11221-7_0157 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction.

[Part 155 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874607; 11221-7_0155 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

[Part 64 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874600; 11221-7_0064 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

[Part 73 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874596; 11221-7_0073 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

[Part 71 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874590; 11221-7_0071 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

[Part 118 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874584; 11221-7_0118 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

[Part 68 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874579; 11221-7_0068 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

[Part 55 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874566; 11221-7_0055 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

[Part 111 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874560; 11221-7_0111 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

[Part 52 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874540; 11221-7_0052 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.

[Part 50 of 171] T2 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY, US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1995). AN - 905874522; 11221-7_0050 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway to serve as the eastern section of the northern beltway for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is proposed. The western terminus of the project would be located at US 52 to the north of the city and east of the proposed US 52 interchange for the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Western Section). The eastern terminus would be a interchange with US 421/I-40 Business (NC 150) between Winston-Salem and Kernersville either 0.5 or 0.8 mile east of Hastings Hill Road. The completed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern and Western Sections) would provide a loop facility encircling the northern section of the city. The current approved thoroughfare plan uses I-40 Bypass on the south side of the city to complete the remainder of the urban loop system. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS of September 1995. Alternative 2 would involve transportation system management. Alternative 3 would involve multi-modal systems. Alternative 4 would comprise alternative approaches to widening existing highways, locating the freeway, and a reduced facility concept. Depending on the alternative selected, the project length would be 12.7 to 14.0 miles. The estimated cost, as indicated in the 1995 EIS, ranged from $163.4 million to $196.9 million. This final supplement to the draft EIS of September 1995 is included in this document along with a draft supplement to a draft EIS on the western section of the Northern Beltway; the overall document addresses all three sections of the Northern Beltway. Though no substantial changes have been made in the action proposed for the western portion of the beltway, such changes have been made in the eastern portion of the project. Cost estimates for the six build alternatives currently under consideration, which combine all three projects under consideration, range from $805 million to $821.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section) would provide an efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the efficient northeastern bypass of the city that avoids the existing congestion existing congestion on US 421/I-40 Business in downtown Winston-Salem; improve service for local traffic that currently uses the congested traffic that currently uses the congested surface streets northeast of the surface streets northeast of the city; and help complete the entire Winston-Salem Urban Loop that is recognized as a key element of the as a key element of the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the revised Thoroughfare and Comprehensive Plans for the area. The beltway would also reduce accidents by providing a safer, access-controlled, divided highway; and reduce vehicle operating costs, travel time, energy consumption, and exhaust emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The overall project to create the eastern and western sections of the Northern Bypass would result in 724 to 807 residential relocations, including a significant number of minority-owned residences, and 24 to 42 business relocations. One school and five or six churches and cemeteries could be affected. Numerous utility relocations and crossings would occur. One significant historic site would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 707 to 821 sensitive receptor sites. From 15 to 22 hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The alignment would traverse 114 19 118 and 12 floodplains, requiring the modification of 13 floodplains and relocation of 2,405 linear feed of stream. Biotic communities impacted would include 80 to 108 acres of alluvial forest, 10 to 13 acres of piedmont bottomland forest, 58 to 63 acres of dry oak-hickory forest, 572 to 582 acres of dry mesic oak-hickory forest, 141 to 195 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 369 to 385 acres of agricultural land, one to 10 acres of successional opine forest, 77 acres of pine plantation, 7.3 to 7.8 acres of wetlands, and 21.9 to 27.5 acres of ponds.
